What is Fitness for Life: Elementary School?

The award-winning Fitness for Life middle and high school programs now have an elementary school companion program. Fitness for Life: Elementary School is an innovative multimedia program that facilitates total-school involvement by using physical education lessons, classroom activities and discussions, recess, before- and afterschool activities, and family nights to deliver appropriate physical activity, plus concepts to promote health-related fitness and active lifestyles.

Fitness for Life: Elementary School was developed by nationally and internationally recognized leaders Charles B. “Chuck” Corbin, Guy C. Le Masurier, Dolly D. Lambdin, and Meg Greiner. The program has been field tested and is based on the most current research and standards regarding health-related fitness, activity, wellness, and nutrition.

Dr. Lambdin taught elementary physical education in public and private
schools for 16 years and taught preservice teachers for 33 years at the
university level. During much of that time, she taught simultaneously at
both levels, a situation that required her to spend part of each day
meeting the teaching and research demands of academia while tackling the
daily adventure of teaching 5- to 14-year-olds. In addition, she has
supervised over 100 student teachers, and as a result has been able to
visit classes and learn from scores of wonderful cooperating teachers in
the schools.

Dr. Lambdin has served as the president of NASPE (2004-05) and on the
NASPE board of directors for two three-year terms. She has also served
on numerous local, state, and national committees, including the writing
teams for the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills in Physical

Teacher Standards, and the NASPE Appropriate Practices Revision. Dr.

University Physical Educator of the Year.
